Gamers have been hooked to Fallout 4 since its release on 10 November, and Bethesda announced that it shipped record copies on the launch day.
Fallout 4's popularity has been unprecedented and it has remained true to the expectations that preceded its release.
Bethesda had not released any detail of the game before E3 2105 and confirmed it only during its first ever press conference at the annual event.
Fallout 4 was released for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Below is a guide, thanks to Reddit user guilded_monkey, who has shared steps to get more than 20 settlers in the settlement. He managed to get about 28 settlers with the Charisma Level of 6.
- Set up a small settlement that functions as a recruitment center for the actual settlement (they used Hangman's Alley). What until there are more people than you want in your actual settlement.
- Equip items that give charisma bonuses.
- Move people to the actual settlement. (To do this on PC, you just press R while in workshop mode â€" it's basically like scrapping settlers.)
- Take grape mentats, which will boost charisma (they reported a final level of 15 at this point).
- Keep moving people to the actual settlement until the game stops you.
